Visualisation of Word Senses on the Concordance Level ENeL WG3 @Herstmonceux Kris Heylen Quantitative Lexicology and Variational Linguistics
VISUALISING SENSES: COLLOCATESVS CONCORDANCES Visualisation of senses through usage patterns on two levels: 1. Collocations (in wordsketches): Similar collocates are grouped together and showed as close together or connected Hask Collosaurus SketchEngine ENeL WG3 Herstmonceux 13-07-2015
VISUALISING SENSES: COLLOCATESVS CONCORDANCES Visualisation of senses through usage patterns on two levels: 1. Collocations (in wordsketches): Similar collocates are grouped together and showed as close together or connected Hask Collosaurus, Sketchengine, 2. Concordances (occurrences, citations) Group concordances together that illustrate the same meaning and plot those as close together in a graph Interactive scatter plots with concordances as dots => complementary perspectives ENeL WG3 Herstmonceux 13-07-2015
Similarity of Concordances Concordances of bank: 1. Local banks 2. Follow the north bank 3. Private sector banks 4. Oak forests ran along the river banks banks offer loans at better rates bank up stream. banks had much lower debts. banks . Obviously (1,3) and (2,4) should be grouped together, but they do not share direct collocates However, the salient collocates of the collocates do show overlap!
Similarity of Concordances Concordances of bank: 1. Local banks 2. Follow the north bank 3. Private sector banks 4. Oak forests ran along the river banks banks offer loans at better rates bank up stream. banks had much lower debts. banks . Overlap in signif. collocates of observed collocates: 1 & 2 1 & 2 1 & 3 1 & 3 2 & 3 2 & 3 2 2 & 4 & 4 3 3 & 4 & 4 ENeL WG3 Herstmonceux 13-07-2015

CONCLUSIONS Visualising proximity of concordances as complementary to visualising proximity of collocates: Helicopter view of a word s meaning potential Direct link to concordances Contrasting near-synonyms But: - collocates still are necessary to interpret concordance groupings (switch between two views?) - Only a sample of all concordances can be displayed at the time (integration with GDEX?) crossling (FIN), February/March 2013
